End Times Fascism is a mental illness. An inability to cope with reality leading to extreme views and conspiracy theories. And the deliberate exploitation of it in vulnerable people for power and profit. SadoPopulism.

UK + Ireland land and offshore wind power is only about 1000 * 1000 miles. Surely we can manage supply to demand from and to anywhere in that square. With cross border interconnects as well.

Proposed regional pricing for electricity
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/14/octopus-and-its-customers-ask-treasury-to-back-zonal-electricity-pricing

If there's a regional mismatch between renewable supply and demand, then we haven't spent enough on the grid and wide area interconnects. And the energy contract environment.

If we need to encourage high energy use industries away from the SE of England, variable energy pricing isn't the way to do it.

Is anyone talking about the future of work?

15 years ago, the corporates were just catching on to zero hour contracts & internet mediated gig economy. The implications of that were far reaching - more so than cool stuff happening in tech. But now? AI and mechanical turk going after white collar make work. Human intensive work completely shifted to high population, low wage economies. Remaining factory production heavily automated.

Turn on the TV for the build up to WSB at Assen on TNT Sports 2. And there's Farage on Kuenssberg on BBC 1. WTF! Why is that racist, fascist grifter being interviewed again?

https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2012/10/electric-velomobiles-as-fast-and-comfortable-as-automobiles-but-80-times-more-efficient/

I think we need more electric Velomobiles on the roads. It's just a shame that they really don't fit existing US and EU regulations. Perhaps they could be licensed as Quads, but I suspect there's still a whole load of awkwardness around insurance, let alone TUV and MOT testing. I think something that can do 50mph should require safety checking, be licensed and insured, but I also want this to be easy for one-off or low production quantities.

2014.
> ps. Have you noticed how 2030 is no longer the far future? The doomsayers are predicting major disruption by 2030 which is now only ~15 years away.

2050 is the new 2030.

40 years of science?
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/apr/13/what-ive-learned-after-40-years-as-the-observers-science-editor

Old enough to personally remember 50 years of Limits To Growth and 60 years of science. And Physics at School included History of Science, especially post-1900.

Were scientists really still questioning climate change in 1985? That seems late to me.

The growth and politicisation of Anti- Some Science is just dumb. No iPhone for you!

10 years ago you could get a ticket to a 3 day dance music festival with camping and some great acts for 75 quid. These days it's more like 200 quid. Inflation, eh? I blame Thatcher for outlawing "music with a repetitive beat".
